The walk will be held on Brookgreen's beautiful labyrinth on the creek front.  All are welcome to join us in this joyous celebration of love!

Please note that group walks will be cancelled if there is substantial rain on or immediately before the day of the walk. Due to the natural surroundings of the Labyrinth, we encourage walkers to wear closed toe shoes for their safety.

Mason bees nest in pre-made holes. Hole-nesting bees represent about 25% of the world’s bee species and are very important to reducing stress on the honeybee.

We can increase mason bee populations by raising them in our backyards and gardens, which is a great way to supplement pollination, sustain our future food supply, and provide nesting sites for other native bees, too.

This class will teach you how to build a house for your own yard to attract Mason bees!

Those who pay attention as they are driving on Highway 17 in the Pawleys Island area may have noticed the ruins of an old motel behind a fence and a street sign saying "Old Beach Road." That is what is left of McKenzie Beach, once a popular and well-known vacation resort. But what made it important then was that it was a beach for African-Americans at a time when direct access to the Atlantic oceanfront in the Jim Crow South was extremely limited.

"McKenzie Beach Memories - Art by Natalie Daise" is made up of paintings that have been used as the illustrations for the book "McKenzie Beach Memories," published by CLASS Publishing and available in September.

In the Wall Lowcountry Center Learning Lab One, September 5 - October 15, 2020, from 12:00 - 4:30 p.m.
